Raw Fury have announced the release date of western-themed roguelite action game West of Dead.
West of Dead is an isometric roguelite action game where players fight their way through a wild west town of Purgatory. Players take on the role of William Mason, a skull-faced desperado voiced by Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Monster Hunter) as he tumbles and shoots through a gauntlet into a dark world of spirits.
With a twin-stick control setup, players dodge, shoot, and duck behind cover with William through action-packed combat scenes.

You can read the full rundown (via Steam) below.
Purgatory, Wyoming, 1888.
A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.
Step into the boots of the dead man William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) and descend into the grim and gritty world of Purgatory in this fast-paced cover shooter which combines the fluidity of twin-stick controls and tactical cover usage. Put your skills to the test – Dodge behind cover as you try to outgun your enemies in the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds. The Wild West has never been this dark.
West of Dead launches June 18th on Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, and August 2020 on Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
